Razorcake
An Oral History of the Gun Club by Ryan Leach
Regular price
$2.00
The Gun Club is one of Los Angeles’s greatest bands. From 1979 to 1996, lead singer, guitarist, and figurehead Jeffrey Lee Pierce manned the Gun Club ship through thick and mostly thin. What follows is a chronological oral account of those close to Jeffrey and various Gun Clubbers, whose playing was integral to the Gun Club’s artistic success. We reach back into Jeffrey’s rich history for influence; proving the Gun Club is not ephemeral. Innovators are not forgotten.
